I reject that vision and will keep fighting to ensure that, if you work hard, you can get ahead in this country and give your kids a better life. [2/2]
When Republicans forced through Trump’s billionaire tax cuts earlier this year, I made it clear that Trump’s idea of prosperity is reserved only for those at the top. [1/2]
I reject that vision and will keep fighting to ensure that, if you work hard, you can get ahead in this country and give your kids a better life. [2/2]
“Steve Pearce’s nomination to lead the Bureau of Land Management is an insult to Colorado and anyone who cares about the lands that sustain our economy and Western way of life." Read my full statement on his nomination here:
Colorado’s small businesses should be able to plan, invest, and support their workers without fearing that President Trump’s incoherent tariff policies will force them to close. Our small businesses can’t make decisions based on Trump’s political whims. He must reverse these tariffs immediately.

President Trump's reckless and short-sighted decision to let NVIDIA sell advanced AI chips to China threatens U.S. national security and technological leadership. We cannot give China the tools to outcompete us or our allies.
Thirteen years ago, 20 children and six educators were killed in a horrific shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary. Our students deserve to grow up and go to school without fear. I will keep fighting for policies that keep our communities safe from acts of senseless gun violence.
This was a deliberate act of hate as Jews across the world gather to celebrate the first night of Hanukkah, which commemorates light triumphing over darkness. Antisemitism — or hate of any kind — has no place in this world.
I am horrified to hear about the mass shooting at a Hanukkah celebration at Bondi Beach in Australia. My thoughts are with the victims and their families.
The deadly attack on U.S. forces engaged in counterterrorism efforts in Syria is reprehensible. My thoughts are with the brave troops and interpreter we lost, those wounded, and their loved ones. As a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, I am closely monitoring the situation.
Breaking News: Two American soldiers and an American interpreter were killed in an attack in central Syria on Saturday, U.S. military officials said.
Last month, President Trump attempted to illegally withhold SNAP funding, adding to his disgraceful record of making Americans’ lives harder. As he continues to threaten Colorado’s food assistance, I will keep fighting for our state to ensure hungry families have the food they need.
Coloradans are weeks away from skyrocketing health care premiums, but President Trump and Republicans refuse to extend ACA premium tax credits or do anything to prevent this crisis. But this fight isn’t over. I will keep working to expand accessible and affordable care to every Coloradan.
President Trump promised his tariffs would bring down costs, but they have only driven them higher. Now, families struggling to get by are paying the price with skyrocketing costs on everyday needs. They cannot afford another broken promise from Trump. His incoherent trade policies must end.
For over 15 years, I’ve pushed to ban members of Congress from becoming lobbyists and profiting from their influence after they leave. Republicans unanimously blocked my amendment to do so, siding with the special interests that corrupt our politics. The American people expect better & deserve it.
"The NDAA contains important measures I fought hard to secure [...] but I cannot, in good conscience, rubber-stamp President Trump and Secretary Hegseth’s lawless Department of Defense. Our country deserves better, and our Constitution demands it.” My full statement on voting NO to advance the NDAA
